| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 2, 2008 Tried both the cask ale and standard draft varieties at Magnolia Pub and Brewery. This was my first time trying a cask ale and was pleasantly surprised. Both varieties were good but the cask ale had a mellower flavor and a smoother, creamier mouthfeel. Good amount of hops present, but a nice balance with the sweetness from the malts.
